Document Summary

6 months of low intensity training followed by 6 months of high intensity training. Subjects assigned to control, resistance, or endurance training. Subjects were men and women, stage 1 hypertensives. 44% increase in vo2 man over 10 weeks of intense exercising. Endurance training saw a vo2 max increase of 16% at 3 months and 22% after. Men who maintained or improved to adequate levels of physical fitness were less likely to die from any cause and from cvd than persistently unfit men. Even small improvements in physical fitness are associated with a significantly lower risk of dying. Hdl-c went up considerably from the baseline to 7 years. No significant differences in bp changes among the groups. Measured bp before and after 4 months of interventions. Both groups restudied after 3 and 9 months. Ambulatory bp measured for 24 hours on two days. Control day, exercise day 3x15 min exercise sessions at 70% vo2max.
